When I first read
the blurb for this book I thought I would like it, enemies to lovers with a
road trip thrown in sounded like a lot of shits and giggles. I had been reading
a few highly emotional books and I figured this would be a nice change of pace.

So I dove in and
then I had to stop and check the blurb again. I seemed to be reading the wrong
book and I thought my goldfish memory had struck and I had mixed up books. I
mean sure there was some humour and I loved the stoner boss and his team
bonding exercises but I wasn’t getting anything like I expected.

There was so much
emotion and I will be honest initially I didn’t want that so I took a bit to
get into the book. But the writing was so good and the characters were captivating
enough that I had to know why they were how they were and see when the mounting
sexual tension was going to boil over.

Then I spent a few
hours playing chauffeur to the kids reading a page here and there and I was
even more intrigued to see how this was all going to happen that I ended up not
being able to put the book down until the last page at 2am this morning.

This is one of those
times that I am so glad I didn’t get what I wanted because I got so much more. I
got so many laughs, they just weren’t the cheap ones I expected, but the way
Nicole manipulated my emotions was truly masterful.

There’s a few things
personally I would have liked to see added on at the end but despite the lack
of vengeance I still really loved this story. It’s a kick arse debut novel and
I will be watching out for more of Nicole’s work in the future.
